Defibrillator Charge Cancellation Test
These instructions describe how to test the disarm function.
Setup
1 Insert a sufficiently charged battery (at least two LEDs light up) and disconnect the AC power cord.
2 Connect the Pads cable to the Efficia DFM100.
3 Connect the defibrillator analyzer to the Pads cable.
4 Set the analyzer to measure delivered energy. If needed, reset the analyzer’s display to read 0.
Test the Cancel Charge soft key
1 Charge to 200 J.
a Turn the Efficia DFM100’s Therapy Knob to 200 J.
b Press the Charge button to charge the Efficia DFM100.
2 Press the Cancel Charge soft key.
The Efficia DFM100 should disarm itself by discharging into an internal load resistor.
3 Check the results.
Verify that the
Charge Cancelled message appears on the Efficia DFM100. Verify that the charge
tone stopped.
4 Check the analyzer readings.
Read the delivered energy indicated by the defibrillator analyzer. It should be 0 or blank.
Pacer Test
These instructions describe how to test the pacing function. Only run this test if the Pacing option is
installed on your defibrillator/monitor. If all results are as described, the device passes the test. If there is
any failure, troubleshoot and repair the device as needed. See “Troubleshooting” on page 31.
Setup
1 Insert a sufficiently charged battery (at least two LEDs light up) and disconnect the AC power cord.
2 Connect the Pads cable to the Efficia DFM100.
3 Connect the defibrillator analyzer to the Pads cable.
4 Turn the Therapy Knob on the Efficia DFM100 to Pacer.
5 Set Pacer mode to Fixed.
Test Pacing
1 Generate a fixed pacing waveform on the Efficia DFM100 for 70 ppm @ 30 mA.
a Press the Pacer Settings soft key and rotate the Smart Select Knob to set the rate to 70 ppm.
b Rotate the Smart Select Knob again to set the rate to 30 mA.
c Press the Start Pacing soft key.
2 Check the default output on the defibrillator analyzer.
The output should read 70 +
1.5% ppm and 30 + 5 mA.
3 Test the maximum output by generating a fixed pacing waveform on the Efficia DFM100 for
180 ppm @ 140 mA.
a Press the Pacer Rate soft key and rotate the Smart Select Knob to increase the rate to 180 ppm.
b Press the Pacer Output soft key and rotate the Smart Select Knob to increase the output to
140 mA.
